2. Insufficient new science and engineering graduates for employers
The numbers of newly-educated scientists and engineers graduating from U.S. universities are reported to be insufficient for the needs of U.S. employers, even though the 2 science careers they are offering are growing rapidly and are attractive and well-remunerated. Some argue that it is this insufficiency that really compels U.S. high-tech firms to offshore increasing fractions of their R&D work, and to hire increasing numbers of scientists and engineers from abroad to “fill the gaps”.
